I use Digikam with my Nilon D60, works great.
I just used it TODAY with my older Olympus C-750Z zoom.. I had taken some 
videos of the hummingbirds outside.. Digikam was able to setup and recognize 
the Olympus, see the files, and transfer them. It was NOT able to delete 
them, like I can with the Nikon.. Only problem is the videos are .WMV files, 
that sucks.
